Toward the New Civilization in the 22nd Century
Since the middle of the 19th century through WWI and WWII in the first half of the 20th century, the world came into the era of global crises leading to, at worst, a fall of the human civilization.
Some religious people would rather think that the era of the last judgment and the end of the world came. It is no wonder, since 2,000 years have already passed since the first coming of Christ Jesus. Indeed, 2,000 years after Abraham the Jewish people were expelled from Palestine through the Jewish-Roman War although Christ Jesus came to the human world 60 years before the War. The present people might lose their civilization through pandemics and wars in the 21st century as the history gave a warning. But, how has the God given warnings to the human beings?
From the spiritual point of view, the first warning seems to have been given by Swedenborg, a notable 18th-century Swedish psychic who was allowed to see the afterlife, as he wrote that he had seen the last judgment being conducted in the spirit world around 1760. He thought that the effect and consequence of this last judgement in the spirit world should appear in the human world 2 to 3 centuries later.
Secondary, Newton, a notable 18th-century British scientist, concluded after his hard study of the Bible that the end of the world would start after 2060. By the way, when Swedenborg met Newton in the afterlife or the spirit world, the Swedish psychic found that Newton was a sincere man and was near Heaven.
Third, the prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop who predicted all the popes, predicted that the last pope would be Peter the Roman:
"Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End."
And, the incumbent Pope Francis seems to match Peter the Roman, since he is the first pope who has adopted the name of Francis like the first pope Peter and he is also the first pope from the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) whose headquarters is in Rome.
Fourth, Virgin Mary who appeared in the apparition seen by Conchita in Garabandal, Span, around 1960 told her that before the end of time there should be only Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul I, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. The end of time should mean the time of the era since the middle of 19th century when Virgin Mary started to appear to give warnings in La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Garabandal, Međugorje, etc. Therefore, the start of the end of time after the middle of 19th century to the present day should begin during papacy of Pope Francis.
So, this era began with the last judgement having been conducted in the spirit word as the God allowed Swedenborg to see around 1760. As the spirit world showed great muddle due to commingling of evil spirits, the God decided to tidy up the environment in the spirit world by driving evil spirits to the hells. But, as more and more human spirits coming to the spirit world after their death in the physical world went into the hells, Virgin Mary must have been saddened, so that She decided to give warnings in apparitions mostly seen by children to the human beings. That is why such apparitions have been reported so often in these decades.

This is extraordinary. We have to listen to Virgin Mary.
In my feeling, the third world war will occur in this century, or probably in 2020s at the earliest, since Pope Francis at 85 seems not to be able to keep his papacy for decades more. The war should be between democratic nations led by the U.S., G7 countries, etc. and autocratic nations such as China, Russia, etc. The war will be won by G7, but the world structure established by G7 and the Vatican should be crumbled. The result of the war should be so grave that not only the economic and political regimes but also the religious system should undergo great transformation. Christianity should become more spiritual. People will come to understand the spirit world and the afterlife more clearly.
In the 1st century, after Christ Jesus left the human world around A.D. 30, the Temple of Jerusalem fell around A.D. 70. In the 21st century, the human world might see WWIII around 2030, and the human world might start to disintegrate around 2070. However, Christ Jesus might come to the human world to save the mankind and its civilization, so that the human history will continue in the 22nd century and further on.
But, the human civilization in the 22nd century should be different from the present civilization. For example, people would be no more afraid of death, since they all believe the existence of the afterlife. They will no more seek wealth and happiness in this world, but try to be accepted in Heaven after death. The new civilization should be built around the new commonsense that human spirts continue to live in the spirit world after their physical death in this world. I really hope that none will try any more to earn money as much as possible even by selling their souls to Satan.
